Do you run your home economy the way you expect to see the Federal Government run?

Well thank you CaptainObvious!

(Sorry, I *HAD* to do that at least once.)

I run my home economy like I wish the Fed would run theirs.

For example, I make a major purchase only after consulting with my congress (wives). The purchase is only made if it is value-added. For example, a 20' wakeboarding boat would be nice to have, but there's no way to justify it. A smaller, cheaper boat that could be used for fishing would add value, though.

Another thing: we try to maintain or lower our "debt ceiling"- that max amount we can currently borrow. Did you know that if your debt ceiling is too high, it can keep you from getting financing or getting the best rate? I closed a $11,000 Citi credit card recently, so we could look at a refi or home equity loan to get the outbuilding done for our off-grid electrical system. The FedGov just raises their debt ceiling- basically, once they've got all their credit carRAB maxed out, they just apply for more, and start charging those up as well.

The Federal Government is on a path to self-destruction.
Is your home?

WTF?

Natural law has nothing to do with the "rights" you are talking about and the government absolutely can infringe on them.

You are correct though that what society agrees are to be considered rights are mutually granted by each individual.

Certainly government budgets are made up of much much larger nurabers than family budgets, and factors influencing the respective budgets are different, but the general premise is still the same, don't spend more than what you are bringing in.

fixed that for you

Yes they do. You know, those inaliable rights endowed by the Creator (whomever you believe the Creator was).

They're not granted by each individual, they are granted to each individual.

Do you have a coherent explanation for how we got here?

[Annagram the Eskimoette]

Those rights aren't granted by the government, quite the opposite actually. Those are rights held by the people (by natural law) that the government cannot infringe on.

Bro you really have multiple wives?
